How to consume from beanstalk tube

I am using beanstalk to put messages in the tube and i want to consume it from the new EC2 instance that i will launch at runtime. I am able to put message in the tube but i am not able to consume it by any means.

I performed the below steps to test:

file: producer.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import greenstalk
import json
import sys

beanstalkTube = 'tube-name'
beanstalkHost = 'host'
beanstalkPort = 11301

client = greenstalk.Client((beanstalkHost, beanstalkPort))
client.use(beanstalkTube)

client.put('message 1')

file: consumer.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import greenstalk
import json
import sys

beanstalkTube = 'tube-name'
beanstalkHost = 'host'
beanstalkPort = 11301

client = greenstalk.Client((beanstalkHost, beanstalkPort))
client.use(beanstalkTube)


job = client.reserve()

print("job_id:"+job.id)
print("job_body:"+job.body)

One more thing i want to know is how should i use the beanstalk to pass message to the newly created EC2 spot instance via shell script

You will use a tube to put in a message. Reading from the tube(s), you watch one (or more) tubes and the server will return a message when you call reserve to get one

Jobs will only be reserved from tubes on the watch list, which initially contains a single tube, default. You can add tubes to the watch list with watch and remove them with ignore. For convenience, it can be set with the watch argument when creating a Client. https://greenstalk.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html#consuming-jobs
